Leazes1986 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Skysports.com understands Antoine Sibierski has knocked back Newcastle's offer of a new deal. Sibierski is a free agent after his existing deal expired at the end of the season. The Frenchman joined Newcastle from Manchester City last August on a short-term deal and he impressed during his time at St James' Park. Sibierski scored eight goals in 25 games and he made himself a firm favourite with the St James' Park faithful. The versatile performer was hoping to earn himself a two-year deal, but Newcastle were only prepared to offer him a one-year extension. Sibierski is now set to move on and the player's agent Willie McKay revealed a number of clubs were keeping tabs on former Lens. "Antoine has turned down Newcastle's offer of a new one-year deal as he was holding out for a two-year deal," he said. "Antoine had a great time at Newcastle, but he is now prepared to move on. "He is feeling fit and he believes that he can play on at the highest level for several more years. "He is available on a free transfer and I am speaking to a few clubs who are very keen on him. "Antoine is open to offers and he is keen to get something sorted very quickly." Best thing for all concerned imo. He's come in and surprised us all with a few goals and always given 100%. The fans appreciate his efforts and he can now go and find another club. This is another bit of encouraging news. Thats Pav, Bramble, Moore, Gooch, Bernard and Sibierski out of the door.

M4 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Very bad, this only increases the chances of Shola appearing in more games. But if he didn't want that one year then so be it, won't be sorely missed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I was questioning the sense of giving him an extra year, but if he's wanting a 2 year deal he can take a walk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Au revoir. I expect him, Robert & Bernard to wind-up at some 5th-10th placed French clubs next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 The right decision. Turned out to be an ok signing in so much as he probably made us a bit of revenue with his UEFA cup goals, but nowhere near good enough. Quite respect him tbh, he always gave it his all and he's decided he's not going to be used as an emergency 5th choice striker for a season, he wants football.

Minhosa Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Nice that it appears he leaving on good terms. He was hardly welcomed with open arms but he gave his all and chipped in with some important goals. Best of luck Sibbers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threelegs Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Remember the day when we signed him. Wasnt it the last day of the transfer window. How fucking dissapointing. That was probably one of my lowest points as a fan. He went alright but. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Yeah, that day when we signed one player who wasn't the best player in the world is clearly the worst day in the club's history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
